Breaking Through the Agility Barrier: Creating Information Systems that Accelerate Business Evolution

By Steve Laufmann

Most businesses must change, and change quickly, to remain competitive in a dynamic and often chaotic marketplace.Information systems are central to business change, yet IT struggles to adapt its systems quickly enough to meet business demands. Even agile software development methodologies have had only limited impact on true business agility.Why is this so hard?Clearly, a barrier stands between the rigid systems of the past and the agile systems that businesses so urgently need--an Agility Barrier. Breaking Through the Agility Barrier tackles these problems head-on, offering practical advice about how to break through that barrier.With clear insight, guiding principles, an organizing framework, and practical advice, this book offers IT leaders the know-how they need to create information systems that achieve new levels of agility not simply in the information systems or the IT organization but at the business level, and on the bottom line.
